Joel 2:12-14
12“Yet even now,” declares the LORD, “return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning.”
13So rend your hearts and not your garments,and return to the LORD your God.For He is gracious and compassionate,slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.1And He relents from sending disaster.14Who knows? He may turn and relentand leave a blessing behind Him—grain and drink offeringsfor the LORD your God.
